Has anyone changed like this? You used to have to buy the polyurithane condoms because of the smell but now you don't care?

Maybe someone will answer soon. It's been a long time since I have had to be concerned with things like that. However, I know smells can sort of grow on us, and we can get used to some odor we didn't used to like.

A different brand might be? Latex, but a different brand - there might be variation among brands. Just guessing.
Also, the sense of smell is very volatile. On one of the mothering forums I used to frequent in the early 2000+ was a woman who lost her sense of smell. I forgot why. The olfactory sense is the least understood, most mercurial, and most mystifying of them all. One thing that can happen is that you smelled something with a very strong smell and were sort of "shocked" by it and rendered less able to smell, and if at that moment you tried latex condoms, their scent was below your threshold. Imagine eating something very spicy. Afterwards, for a while, you won't be able to distinguish fine differences in tastes - it would be all or nothing. In any event, this is a positive development since latex remains the safest material for condoms. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
